Our family wants to exhume a hundred year old grave to determine if our grandfather is in it. Could the remains have completely resolved into the soil making it impossible to tell if a body was there? There may not have been a casket.

When you have a burial using a casket and a concrete (I think it's coccrete) vault does that casket and vault slow down decomposition? If not what is the purpose, if any, of the casket and vault? Thanks

I heard of someone named Angel Medina who received a "special embalming treatment" so that he could be standing up when his corpse was displayed. Where could I find more specific details on his treatment? It's for a screenplay I'm working on.

I want to keep one of my mom's fingers when she dies. She says maybe hair would be better. I still want the finger. If my mom agreed....would I be able to get one of her fingers? How could I preserve it?

Why did my mother's face change to a little kids face after she died? She was 68 when she past, after passing her face was that of a 10 to 12 year old my siblings and I don't understand.
